Installation Instructions Basic Installation General Installation & Guide The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but are not designed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing. Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be used on black o-rings but is not necessary.
Installation Notes • This Carbon Filter system consists of 1 total media tank, with electronic control valve and bypass valve. (No chemical or regenerate tank used). • Install this system in accordance with all local and state plumbing codes. • Check your water pressure! Install a new PRV valve if your pressure is 80 PSI or higher.

Start Up 1. After installation is complete and the main water line in the home is still turned off, rotate the BYPASS knobs to the OFF positions. See below. Bypassed Position (closed) 2. Plug system into power and Set the Time of day. (See below) STEP 1U - Press CLOCK.
Page 12
3. Now that installation is complete, the time-of-day set, and the system still in the bypass mode position, follow the next steps to start-up the carbon filter system. 4. Turn main water line supply back on in the home and open some cold water faucets to flush water lines from any debris from installation and also to expel the air out of the water lines.
Page 13
7. Slightly and slowly open the Inlet bypass knob ½ of the way open (pointing to roughly the 8 o’clock position) until you can hear water starting to flow into the carbon filter tank. You will also start to hear air expelling out of the carbon filter system and running to drain.
Page 14
11. With the inlet bypass knob in the fully open position, allow water to flow to drain for another 5 minutes. 12. After 5 minutes of flowing water to drain, plug the carbon filter system back into power. The display will still be reading BACKWASH. See below. Note: During Regeneration, the display screen will alternate between the cycle and how much time is left before the regeneration is complete.
